Let and be two weak solutions with the same initial data, and set and . The diagnostic Stokes equation gives
Subtracting the temperature equations yields
Pair this equation with . The term transported by vanishes by the skew-symmetry of incompressible transport, while the other nonlinear term satisfies
The forcing difference is at most . Consequently
The coefficient is integrable on because . Since , the Gronwall inequality gives , and the Stokes equation then gives . The weak solution is unique.
